I am an IKEA girl!
I went to Ikea and splurged $317 on furniture!
I bought the Flarke, the Karsten and the Amoeba.
So I got home really late, and I fixed my Karsten first.
It looked like this, except with armrests. It reminded me of my old chair, which has since torn. I bought this one for 199 I think, and the old one was 169. Now, this one has velvet detachable seats, and unlike the leather one, won’t erm, rub out. And I realised my old chair wasnt as comfortable as I liked.
This is my Flarke
It’s not easy to make. I spent the whole night knocking away. I think the neighbours think I am nailing in a coffin or something – 1 am.
But I am so proud of myself. I can say it’s EASY. I am no carpenter, but I am a DIY person. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.
The amoena is still in the car. It’s darn as hell heavy. I will fit it in tomorrow.
I decided on it because it was 89 bucks – the other one I liked was 199. Plus, this one was roomier. And the wood was polished, not like the other one, with a painted over porous wood.
I wanted the Alice in wonderlandish feel, but I guess I am way too practical to be spending like 399 for that.
And I didnt take the Klippan sofa because there was no one there to help me. Darn heavy for a girl like me!
I wanted this one in black. It was purtier and softer than the white one. But there was no customer service and it loked like I had to BUY a black cover for 50 bucks extra.
Oh IKEA’s young crew were really unhelpful. It was the older ones who were awesome. They didnt go the extra mile. I was alone, so, I asked this young chap to open the gates so I could push the heavy stuff to my car, but he said he would wait for me there. So I parked and he quickly left. Ya, I know, dont wanna help.
But as soon as I unloaded the stuff from the trolley, a middle aged man IKEA’s staff came to help me. Boy I was so thrilled!! I remember his face, but I didnt have the audacity to ask his name. I just thanked him profusely. It seemed it was enough for him. Darn.. a good person, in a corrupted world full of greed.
If I knew his name.. I would write in to IKEA.. I would. Maybe next time, I would ask his name, since I am going to collect my sofa again.
Now it is 3am, and I need to sleep. Yes I wanna revamp my room. I earned this money myself. And I guess it would be an incentive to work more and work harder.
Love Ikea products!!
